Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded.

Chapter 186: Not Awakening, But Inheritance, Descendants of God

After hearing the god who was still awake, Lin Feng's head was shaken violently.

You must know that the wasteland nowadays has long lost the grand occasion of the gods rising up in the past. Except for the occasional miracles displayed by the top large forces, the gods have almost become legends.

Not only that, even the third-level kings rarely intervene directly at the moment, and most things are left to the second-level evolvers.

When a being becomes powerful enough, his every move will involve too many things and have far-reaching consequences.

What's more, apart from large forces, many third-level kings can only stay in the royal city, staying indoors all year round and working hard all year round.

It is mainly large forces like the Holy Spring Cult and the Giant Enterprise Alliance that control most of the wasteland's resources and advanced technologies.

If a third-level king disobeys the transfer order, he can only go to more remote and harsh areas to grab leftovers.

And when they took action, they used the power of the third level, which was also extremely consuming.

Lin Feng is only a second-stage early-stage evolver. If he goes all out in a battle, he will have to consume at least 50 kilograms of level 20 evolved meat, which is equivalent to 50,000 points.

In one battle, not counting the consumption and loss of other weapons and equipment, just activating this evolved body would cost 50,000 points, which is faster than burning money.

Fifty thousand points can buy ten tons of level nine enhanced meat, which is the annual rations for thirty first-level early evolvers, or can be exchanged for ten ordinary trams.

The consumption of a second-stage early-stage evolver is already so high. If a third-stage king takes action, it is estimated that it will cost millions of points.

It takes tens or hundreds of thousands of people in a royal city a year to get a chance for a third-level king to take action.

Therefore, they rarely reveal their true identity, sitting in the royal city, staying behind the scenes for a long time, and controlling the current situation.

Thus, over the past thousands of years, a situation has gradually formed where the third-order kings do not come out, but appoint second-order evolvers as their agents to walk the world.

So nowadays even the third-level kings rarely show up, let alone the gods who disappeared and fell into deep sleep thousands of years ago?

When Lin Feng encountered Zong Shiyue, the loser of the previous era, in the restricted area of ​​the ruins, he was greatly shocked, especially the other party's various incredible methods, which were even more astonishing.

Zong Shiyue was not a true god, but a demigod at best. Before he could achieve transcendence, he was framed by the gods and died, leaving behind only a contaminated and deformed body.

His strength has plummeted, and it would be considered good if he could reach the middle stage of the third level.

How powerful is the real god?

Lin Feng has not yet witnessed any existence above the third level, but he already has a personal and intuitive experience of the evolvers who have the potential to become gods.

Those are the two super cannons in his hands.

According to Zong Shiyue, the Gun King of that year was a third-level king with the greatest potential to become a god. The ability of guns was also the crystallization of human civilization, integrating the stone-throwing mechanism into genetic instinct.

Even though the latter was hunted down by the kings and eventually met his end, its impact was far-reaching, giving rise to subsequent agent plans.

Lin Feng believed that once he was promoted to the third level, he would be able to easily suppress other kings with the artillery of the same level in his hands.

Just possessing the ability of god-level potential is enough to suppress the evolution of the same level. If he really awakens the ability of a god, he will still be an active god...

Its potential and power are probably even better than the ability of firearms!
After digesting Zong Shiyue's speculation, Lin Feng suppressed his inner tension and shock, and slowly replied:
"So Chen Shanshan's awakened ability is the same as that of the Night Emperor, the ruler of the Eternal Night Empire, the awakened god?"

The superpower genes contained in superpower cells are a segment of the human gene that has been highlighted and strengthened, changing from being recessive to being dominant and becoming a characteristic that is released externally.

Therefore, it is not uncommon to awaken the same superpowers.

Especially in an environment full of genetic radiation, or when accompanied by the second-level evolved form Xixi, the relevant gene fragments in the body will be activated and the same superpowers will be awakened.

The influence of radiation or breath is just one of them.

There are many factors that affect the type of superpowers awakened, including living habits, personality, occupation, etc.

The most common one is the physical enhancement ability of the physical type, also known as the berserker. Very rare ones are the energy, mental, and some special types.

The mark of Lin Feng's awakening is very special.

The system's upgrade capability is initially estimated to consume a certain amount of health points to activate a certain superpower gene in the body, thereby optimizing items.

As for Chen Shanshan's special ability, Lin Feng only knew that it was also very rare.

The initial perception is of the spiritual type, while the blinding ability that is formally awakened after evolution is a special energy type, a mixed ability of the body and the spirit.

This type of ability is usually very strong and will consume both physical and mental state when released.

Just like the spatial ability of Bai Ye, the leader of the Salvation Army, it has great potential, but needs to be developed in depth, and the upper limit can reach the third-order king level.

There is a certain chance that you can walk out of your own evolutionary path and create a new evolutionary path.

This is also the reason why Lin Feng values ​​Chen Shanshan so much, a subordinate with great potential and loyalty...

Even if she is a little stupid, she is still worth investing in and training, not to mention that she once saved my life.

Now that Zong Shiyue said this, Lin Feng felt that he had underestimated Chen Shanshan. Her potential was not only able to touch the threshold of the third level, but she even had the possibility of becoming a late-stage third-level king.

After all, the supernatural power called Dark Domain has been proven to be able to lead to the path to godhood.

Its grade and potential are naturally different from ordinary third-level abilities.

However, after hearing Lin Feng's question, Zong Shiyue unexpectedly did not give a confirmation.

After observing the deep, inky black darkness nearby, he fixed his gaze on a certain spot in the darkness.

There was the back bed where Chen Shanshan was lying.

"I'm afraid it's not just the same ability. If it were the same ability, it wouldn't be able to reach the level it's at now."

"Have you ever seen other evolvers release their abilities to this extent during a leapfrog evolution? Bai Ye, the leader of the Salvation Army, is at level 29. When she was fighting a level 3 aberration, the effect of her spatial abilities wasn't even half as strong as what you see here."

"You know, this dark area is more than just a shield against perception..."

"Have you not noticed that the sunlight that was once everywhere has also been dispersed and wiped out?"

Hearing this, Lin Feng's pupils shrank sharply.

Only then did I realize the horror of the dark realm!
After all, the scorching sun curse contained in the sunlight is a power that even a third-level king would retreat from...

But now it can be cleared or suppressed by the Dark Domain.

This obviously shouldn't happen to a first-level evolver. Even a second-level evolver doesn't have the ability to remove the curse from the scorching sun.

There must be something else behind Chen Shanshan's ability to do this.

Seeing Lin Feng's delayed reaction, Zong Shiyue continued:

"In the spiritual trial world of superpowers, what she experienced was not the awakening of superpowers, but inheritance..."

"To be more precise, it should be inheritance."

"So, only when the body passively accepts it will it overflow with energy fluctuations comparable to the third level."

It's not awakening, but inheritance...

These eight words lingered in Lin Feng's mind for a long time.

A few seconds later, he suddenly realized something. When he spoke again, his mental fluctuations seemed a little hoarse:
"You mean, the reason Chen Shanshan awakened the same dark realm ability as the god Ye Di wasn't because of good luck, but because she had some kind of relationship with that god..."

"Is it blood? Or was it the effects of radiation?" Zong Shiyue's shadow shrugged.

"Then I'm not sure. After the inheritance is over, you can ask her about her experiences in the wasteland. Perhaps during a trip to the ruins, she touched upon something related to the Night Emperor."

"or……"

"Among her blood relatives, a god above the third level was born. He is the current ruler of the Eternal Night Empire, the Night Emperor."

"In this way, we can activate and inherit this already mature evolutionary path."

"He controls the Dark Realm of Eternal Night and becomes one of the most promising evolvers in the wasteland today."

Hearing this description, Lin Feng became a little uneasy.

According to Chen Shanshan's past self-introduction, she had never been to the ruins. At most, she had a first-level evolved master who had been to the ruins to carry out a mission.

Before her master disappeared, Chen Shanshan had always been well protected. It was only in recent years that she suffered and became a top-level wastelander.

So if we speculate this way, the dark domain ability she inherited is most likely due to the latter.

Could it be that Chen Shanshan’s parents are the current rulers of the Eternal Night Empire?
If you think about it carefully, this is possible.

She was stuffed into an underground shelter that year, and her parents were forced to stay outside because there were no places available.

In order to survive, they could only go to other shelters that were still under construction. According to Zong Shiyue, there were still several planetary engines left in the north, and there were supporting shelters nearby.

Moreover, the third-level Night King, as a rising star, did make his fortune in the north and later became the founder of the Eternal Night Empire.

But in this case, Chen Shanshan was born long before her parents became gods. At that time, everyone was an ordinary person, at most an enhancer.

Otherwise, their family would not have been forced to separate due to the limited number of places in the shelter.

Human beings of that era were ruled by the Evolutionary Alliance, and the evolvers had absolute power and status. Only low-level enhanced people like Lin Feng had to work hard for a chance to escape and survive.

Lin Feng is alone, and if he is well fed, his whole family will not be hungry. However, Chen Shanshan's family has at least three people. Even if her father works hard to build the shelter, he can only get one place to enter.

Abandoning one's family and children was common at that time, but there were also many couples who were willing to leave their hopes to their offspring and go to other areas to continue making a living.

Therefore, Chen Shanshan's personality was also affected by this aspect. She did not go to extremes and still maintained a certain degree of kindness.

He was protected by his parents back then, taken care of by his master after waking up in the wasteland, and finally used this kindness to save Lin Feng, receiving the best reward ever.

However, now the reward for saving his life seems to have to become a return to Lin Feng.

A genius with the potential for late-stage third-order evolution,

He also has an inexplicable connection with the still-awake god, the Night Emperor, in the north...

This will be of incomparable help to Lin Feng's upcoming path to transcendence.

But before that, Lin Feng had to confirm one thing. After all, Chen Shanshan was not a second-generation wastelander. She did not have any god relatives in the old Earth.

So Lin Feng frowned and asked:
"Can this kind of bloodline inheritance affect blood relatives before becoming gods?"

"I don't know much about Chen Shanshan's experiences in the wasteland, but she shouldn't have encountered anything related to the god, Ye Di. Before I met her, she was just a small enhanced human. If she really had a connection with a god, could an ordinary flesh and blood body withstand it?"

"But she is a human from the old Earth. The Night Emperor, the god back then, had just been promoted to the third level and became the Rookie Night King..."

Zong Shiyue smiled and looked around.

At this time, the dark domain energy that filled the entire wolf armor chariot was gradually dissipating, and the invasion of sunlight could be vaguely felt from the edge of the darkness.

"The inheritance is almost over."

"I'll make it short, otherwise the scorching sun energy will overflow and take a heavy toll on my spirit."

"You've already learned about the relevant evolutionary forces. You should know that the evolvers themselves don't need to reproduce to ensure their own continuation."

"But during the second-stage evolution process, due to the disappearance of consciousness, they will establish their own bloodline clans, such as the Li family in Oasis Town."

"At this time, only the direct descendants of the evolver can inherit the bloodline in the body. It is equivalent to directly having the same evolved cells, but at a lower level."

"And when a second-level evolver dies, the offspring he bred and raised, as long as their level is not much lower than his own, can theoretically inherit their elder's evolutionary level through transplantation and lead the tribe to continue survival."

"This is very common among evolving wild beasts."

"Also, there's a chance that some of the offspring in the tribe will have exceptional talents and become new second-order evolutionary beings."

"This is why many herds of beasts can continue to thrive."

"I've finished talking about the second level. Now let's talk about the higher level, the third level. As a third level king, they have solved the problem of consciousness decaying and being unable to survive for a long time. Both their body and spirit are immortal. Living for thousands or even tens of thousands of years is no problem at all."

"But now comes the problem. To maintain its existence, a third-level king needs to absorb a large amount of energy and consume countless resources."

"It is itself a huge accumulation of negative entropy, like a burning power furnace. Only by constantly adding firewood can it maintain its strength."

"At this time, reproducing offspring and establishing a large-scale power is to more efficiently extract the required energy from the environment. It is equivalent to training a group of miners."

"Many tasks that are not cost-effective and that do not yield much benefit are handed over to my subordinates."

"A third-level king needs at least a city to allow them to move freely without having to worry about the food they need to survive."

"And their offspring are also known as royal descendants. Thanks to the existence of genetic radiation, direct royal descendants can easily advance to the second level."

"As long as the city lord who becomes a king can make further progress and evolve to the middle stage of the third level, or even the late stage of the Heavenly King, as a descendant of the king, after gaining the recognition of his father, he can also be promoted to the third level and become a king."

"All of the above effects only take effect on offspring after evolution. Even the genetic radiation of a third-level king can only affect previous relatives after close exposure, and the effect is far less than that of the offspring born from a king."

"But for gods above the third rank, even if they are not blood relatives born after their ascension to godhood, as descendants of gods, as long as they have genes with god-level potential within their bodies, they can also receive the blessings of the gods."

"When a god becomes a deity, he or she becomes a unique existence. The essence he or she condenses is unique and cannot be replicated."

"As long as one is related to Him by blood, they will inevitably accept His inheritance. This is the information engraved in this gene."

"The bloodline is endless, and the inheritance is immortal."

"Descendants of God are an extension of the power of God."

"Taking the path of the shepherd's way is actually a large-scale third-level king."

"In order to solve their own food and energy problems, they want to enslave all of humanity, exploit the entire planet, and use its endless resources to sustain themselves."

"Absorb all evolutionary paths and merge them into one."

"And Chen Shanshan, as a relative of the Night Emperor, is very likely a direct descendant. One day, she will return as a descendant of the gods and help the Night Emperor become the master of all living things and the king of kings!"

"But before that, the Night Emperor must enter a long sleep, and the entire ancient and vast empire must be handed over to his most trusted descendants..."

As he spoke of this, the wolf armor chariot became brighter and brighter, while Zong Shiyue's figure became increasingly blurred and dim.

The dark domain energy gradually disappeared and returned to the girl's body.

Zong Shiyue turned to look at Chen Shanshan and said something meaningful:
"Perhaps she still has this opportunity to become the regent empress of the Eternal Night Empire..."

"You should seize the opportunity."
